The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Cheon Chang-su) selected Hwang Seon-myeong, an educational officer from the Future Education Department, for the top prize in the second half of this year’s Excellent Cases of Proactive Administration with the project titled “Nation’s First Vocational Education Complex Center Takes Vocational Education to New Heights.”

Officer Hwang recognized the need for a new technology education center led by the education office and actively communicated with the Ministry of Education to change the existing joint training facility into a newly constructed building. After two years of effort with the team, they opened the nation’s first Vocational Education Complex Center, establishing a one-stop support system that links advanced field student technical education with employment.

The center serves as a hub for vocational education, providing students and citizens with information about Ulsan’s vocational high schools and vocational education, and is expected to contribute to career choice and awareness improvement.

The Excellence Award went to Park Jeong-yu, a teacher at Sampyeong Elementary School, for “Operating a Career Experience Education Program Utilizing Educational Information Technology (Edutech) through Community Collaboration,” and to Seo Bo-sun, team leader of the Physical Education, Arts, and Health Department, for “Changing Practices to Improve Children’s Dental Health.”

The Encouragement Award was given to Ahn Chan-won, administrative director of Gangdong Elementary School, for “Protecting Educational Assets by Collecting Electricity Fees from Telecom Relay Stations,” and to Lee So-yeon, administrative officer at Munsu High School, for “An Open Educational Community Sharing School Facilities with Local Residents.”

The Honorable Mention went to Baek Seong-mi, administrative officer at Ulsan Nambu Library, for “One-Click Processing Brings the Library to My Fingertips,” and to Kwon Gu-man, team leader of the Facility Support Division at Gangbuk Education Support Office, for “Creating a Comfortable Educational Environment by Solving Leakage Issues.”

The Ulsan Office of Education recently held the 3rd Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education Proactive Administration Support Committee meeting and selected seven excellent cases of proactive administration for the second half of this year. Out of 13 cases publicly submitted from all institutions (schools), seven were chosen after evaluation.

Through this selection of excellent cases, the Ulsan Office of Education hopes to raise civil servants’ willingness to practice proactive administration and to spread a culture of proactive administration.

Yeom Gi-seong, Deputy Superintendent and Chair of the Proactive Administration Support Committee, stated, “We will strengthen active opinion gathering and communication among civil servants to realize education demand-centered administration and promote policies that reflect voices from the field.”
